Zuckerberg is an atrocious human being, but I tend to believe him here in this story from back in January. Government pressure to quiet people or remove info is a clear cut violation of free speech rights. It's wrong when 'they' do it, and it's wrong when your team does it.... cuz it's just wrong.

We think we are all having different reactions to the same information, when we are actually having different reactions to different information. The algorithms know what you click on, they know what ‘team’ you are on, and they show you your teams version of an event. You are being shown different information than what others are seeing.

I am female, therefore everything I do is inherently feminine. End of story. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Power corrupts

It’s really, really important that men have close female friends, and that women have close male friends. I’ve had a lot of ugly and just plain fucked up experiences with men. Emotionally abusive relationships, sexual assault, etc. It would be very easy for me to slide into ‘man hating’. One thing that keeps me balanced, one thing that keeps me from sliding into hate, are the very close relationships that I have with men. When you are the shoulder to lean on for a man going through a breakup, or navigating a difficult time in his life, you get to see up close that not all the problems in the world belong to women. When you can be close enough to a man to have a deep understanding of his life and empathize with him, that inoculates you against developing hatred for those like him. And the reverse is true too. There are plenty of men in the world who have had and will have shitty experiences with women. And if they don’t have close personal relationships with women, they are far more likely to slide into hate. Deep friendships with the opposite sex inoculates against sexist hatred.

You really don't know what will happen, you never know, you can't know. Let go of the outcome and just focus on being a decent human being.

"The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending sons-of-bitches. For it is against sons-of-bitches that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all." - H.L. Mencken

When you bring up the misbehavior of a gov official someone is always quick to say "but the other side does that too!" And ya, if so then that is also shitty!

People be like "that's taken out of context!" So you go check the context, and that shit is even worse 😳

I’m going to Mexico City next week to speak at Finnosummit! I’ll be doing a talk, joining a panel, giving a workshop, and attending a BitDevs event! ¡Y esto lo voy a hacer en inglés y español! I’m going to be exhausted 🤪 But if you’re around, join us!

When someone tells you that they don’t have any friends of the opposite sex they are letting you know that they don’t value the opposite sex as real people. To them, they are simply tools.

How my husband talks to me about social media… When I’m on Facebook: “Why are you even there?” “That can’t be good for you?” “Maybe you should cut back a bit?” When I’m on Nostr with zaps enabled: “You did great today!” “You should get back on there!”

Bitcoin is a tool for facilitating peaceful human interaction on a scale larger than Dunbar’s number.
